I have to agree with Adam here - I'm sure 1.8 popped up a dialogue when ever 
my fingers took on a mind of their own and pressed the wrong key...  

Surely the point of the Imbalance* accounts is that they have _no_ entries.  

The two or three times my fingers have got ahead of my brain whilst working 
with 2.0.x, the first thing I've done is correct the error, and then delete 
the imbalance account (I don't want empty accounts filing my tree), and 
mutter to myself about how I miss the old warning message.

I think there could be an RFE here somewhere along the lines of putting the 
warning back in before the imbalance account gets created?

my twopenneth only.
